GOOD HARTFORD SPEECHES.
[Continued from r4oth page.]
though the landing was a safe one some
of the soldiers had a good deal of
trouble. Their predicaments reminded
the Captain of an incident that once
occurred when he was crossing the
ocean in a vessel that carried, among
its stock of provisions, a live pig. One
day tremendous squeals were heard
from below decks and a passenger re-
marked to one of the stewards, “The
pig seems to be in trouble?” “He is
in trouble, sir,” said the other. ‘“What’s
the matter with him?” “They’re a-kil-
lin’ of him, sir.”
In closing, Captain Goodrich said
he wanted to say a word for “the inter-
mediate cogs in the naval machine—a
machine that’s worked well before and
is ready to work well again if it’s
called for. I refer to the younger
officers of the navy. I wish you could
see them, in their improvised boats, as
they went into all sorts of dangers. As
long as the navy holds men like Ward
of the ‘Wasp,’ Wainwright, ‘Purcell of
the Osceola,’ Delahanty, ‘Lucien Young
and Victor Blue,’ this country is all
right.”
Captain Goodrich sat down at this
point, but Colonel Green who sat
opposite him, instantly remarked in a
deliberate and determined manner, “We
want the story of that fight at Man-
zanillo,” and the cheers and cries broke
out again. Captain Goodrich refused
several times to continue, saying that
he was not there to blow his own
trumpet, but at last he was compelled
to tell the story. It was an- exceed-
ingly interesting story and, except for -
the frequent applause one could have
heard a pin drop in the room while he
was telling it. He told how, on his
own responsibility, he sailed into the
unknown harbor with the deep-draught
“Newark,” his flagship, and three
smaller boats, one carrying Col. Hunt-
ington and his marines, sounding as
they went. In some way, he said, it
might have been called a foolhardy
expedition, for he had no orders to
enter the harbor and in case of failure
or mishap, he had court-martial and
possible dismissal from the service be-
fore him. He went through the for-
mality of calling a council of war -in
regard to the matter—‘though I had
determined beforehand to go in.’ He
told graphically of the entrance of the
ships, the demand for surrender, the
refusal, and the bombardment which
began about the middle of the afternoon
and lasted till it was «oo dark to see.
Unlike other bombardments, the ves-
sels did not retire when the general
firing ceased, but remained through
the night, firing one shot every half-
hour, “which,” as the Captain naively
remarked, ‘was intended to have a
disquieting effect upon the Spaniards’
nerves.” At daybreak the town was
seen to be almost literally covered with
white flags, but the Spanish command-
ant did not have a chance to send to
Captain Goodrich his surrender, which,
as was learned afterwards, he had al-
ready written, for a telegram from the
Secretary of War was brought to the
“Newark” announcing the signing‘ of
the peace protocol and the cessation of
hostilities. So what was left of Man-
zanillo remained to Spain and the spice
of his victory was taken from Captain
Goodrich.
No bare account of this speech can
give an adequate idea of the spirit in
which it was delivered or the effect it
had upon the listeners. The speaker’s
manner was so simple and direct, and
he spoke of the navy with such an
evident yet dignified pride, touching
on the incidents of the war with such
a thorough personal knowledge, that a
very respectable degree indeed of old-
fashioned, unabashed patriotism was
aroused. Everyone sympathized with
the feeling that prompted Robert N..
Huntington, Jr., ’89, the son of the
ranking officer of the Marine Corps, to
add a little epilogue to Captain Good-
rich’s speech, in which Mr. Huntington
said he wished to state that his father
was as fond of Captain Goodrich as
Captain Goodrich had just said he was
of his father. Considering the well-
known rivalry between the naval and
marine branches of the service, Cap-
tain Goodrich’s tribute to the latter
department was especially graceful and
significant.
PRESIDENT SMITH OF TRINITY.
The subject of “Sister Colleges” was
discussed by the Rev. George William-
son Smith of Trinity College, who in
TALE: ALUMNI
WHE KLY
opening stated that he had hoped to
give his time on the program to Cap-
tain Goodrich to which the Captain
replied, apropos of President Smith’s
old record in the service, ‘“You’re a
navy man yourself, sir.” President
Smith referred to President Dwight’s
retirement, saying that Dr. Dwight had
earned his discharge. ‘He has a right
to do as he pleases, but his retirement
will be folowed with regret by all
men of letters in the country.” Con-
tinuing, President Smith said, that what
Yale’s little sisters wanted to know
was how she manage to blow her own
horn so well. The smaller colleges
envied Yale her aggressiveness—a qual-
ity which she impressed upon her sons
and which has its advantages. “An
army of sheen led by a lion is better
than an army of lions led by a sheep.”
Yale men believe in their own college,
and have unbounded faith in themselves.
They watch every boy playing in the
street to see whether he would make
a good enough football player to go to
Yale. In this connection the speaker
told a story of a Yale man who en-
couraged a physician who had just been
called to “one of those interesting occa-
sions that sometimes occur in families,”
with the words: “Hurry up, doctor.
Perhaps it’s another Yale student.”
The other speakers were Elmer P.
Howe, ’76 of Boston; Judge Perry and
Prof. A. T. Hadley.
The meeting proper closed at mid-
night, but the younger members stayed
much later and helped with the quar-
tette to make merry for several hours
later,
